00:00Negotiators are working to put the final touches on a deal to end the war in Iran.
00:04President Donald Trump says the deal has been largely negotiated.
00:08He's been on the phone speaking to Arab and Israeli leaders to fill them in on the details.
00:14Officials in the region say that Iran has agreed to give up its stockpile of highly enriched uranium.
00:19That is a key ingredient needed to make a nuclear bomb.
00:22Iran will also agree to reopen the Strait of Hormuz to shipping traffic.
00:27That, of course, is that strategic waterway whose closure over these past few months has wreaked havoc on the global
00:34economy.
00:35In return, the U.S. is expected to end its blockade of Iran's ports and lift some sanctions against Iran.
00:41The deal does not appear to end Iran's support for proxy groups across the region or halt its ballistic missile
00:47program.
00:48That would fall short of the goals set out by Israel when it launched this war with the U.S.
00:53back in February.
00:53The officials say they expect a general series of understandings to be reached relatively quickly
00:59with final details to be negotiated in the coming 30 or 60 days.
